This casserole is inspired by the original Frito pie recipe that&#8217;s also known as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/walking-tacos\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/walking-tacos\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">walking taco<\/a>: Chili, cheese and other toppings ladled into a split-open bag of Fritos. Our recipe delivers those flavors in casserole form, with a thick layer of crunchy Fritos corn chips, ground beef, spiced beans and lots of melted cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Whip up a Frito pie casserole to treat everyone for dinner or the next big game day.<\/p>\n<h2>Where did Frito pie originate?<\/h2>\n<p>Like with many classic dishes, the origins of Frito pie are disputed. New Mexico lays claim to its invention, saying the dish was created by Woolworth&#8217;s department store employee Teresa Hernandez in the 1960s. However, Texans say the Frito pie recipe was invented in their state a decade or two earlier, crediting Daisy Doolin, mother of Fritos inventor Charles Elmer Doolin, with the recipe. Others credit Katherine Doolin, Charles&#8217; wife.<\/p>\n<p>No matter who came up with the recipe, the most innovative part of the original Frito pie was that the bag served as the bowl\u2014no plate necessary. However, since our recipe feeds more than one person, it&#8217;s served up in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/13x9-baking-pans\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/13x9-baking-pans\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">13&#215;9-inch baking dish<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients in a Frito Pie<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fritos corn chips:<\/strong> It wouldn&#8217;t be a Frito pie without Fritos! The recipe uses a whole bag of Fritos corn chips. Most are layered at the bottom of the casserole, and the rest are scattered over the top. It wouldn&#8217;t hurt to have extra Fritos available, so you can add few more to each serving for extra crunch.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"color: #333f48;\">Ground beef:<\/strong> The meat is cooked on the stovetop with diced onion before being layered in the casserole. Drain off most of the grease from the beef well before adding it to the baking dish. For the least amount of excess grease, choose a lean ground sirloin. Here&#8217;s the best way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-ground-beef\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-brown-ground-beef\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brown ground beef.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ranch-style beans: <\/strong>These canned beans consist of pinto beans in a tomato-based savory sauce flavored with onions and spices.

We suggest diced green chilies, sliced jalapenos, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/molly-s-mexicorn\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/molly-s-mexicorn\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mexi-corn,<\/a> sliced black olives or Ro-Tel tomatoes with chiles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try it with chili:<\/strong> Instead of ranch-style beans, use your favorite canned or homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ultimate-chili-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ultimate-chili-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chili recipe<\/a> in this step. Spicy or mild, with beans or without\u2014chili will amake this casserole even more irresistible!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it &#8220;flamin&#8217; hot&#8221;:<\/strong> If you love your Tex-Mex food extra spicy, try making Frito pie casserole with Flamin&#8217; Hot Fritos instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can you make Frito pie ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s best to assemble and bake Frito pie right before you want to eat, simply because if it&#8217;s made too far in advance the Fritos will get soggy. However, one time-saving step you can take is to brown the ground beef and onions ahead of time. Store them in the fridge until you&#8217;re ready to assemble and bake the Frito pie.<\/p>\n<h2>Frito Pie Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1974499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Frito-Pie-PS_FT24_116189_EC_021424_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Delicious Frito Pie served with coke and green onions \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with Frito pie?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve portions of Frito pie with toppings like sour cream, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-guacamole\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-guacamole\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">guacamole<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-tomato-salsa\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-tomato-salsa\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roasted tomato salsa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For side dishes, try a fresh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/side-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/side-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">side salad<\/a> with complementary toppings like black beans, tomatoes and cheddar cheese.

I used one can of beans as two seemed like too much.  One  was perfect for us.  I couldn't find ranch beans so I used Bush's chili beans (tasted good).  I spiced it up a bit with cayenne pepper and some garlic.   I was skeptical about using two cans of enchilada sauce because it seemed like it would turn out too soupy but it didn't.   It firmed up as it cooled down.   Served with sour cream and green onions.   It was tasty.   I like the saltiness that the Fritos added.  Wasn't too overpowering.   You don't need to add any salt.
